Del Piero: «Our strength is the group made up of youngsters and veterans»

Alessandro is preparing to get on the field against Chelsea in one of two matches which will decide who will go through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Everything is ready at Stamford Bridge, including Juventus who Del Piero believes in: «We are a great group, a mix of youngsters and experienced players which can be a point of reference for the rest.» It is the first time that Alex will be playing in this stadium which, as a local journalist explained is smaller then for example the one in Madrid. «I don’t think – answered Del Piero – that the area is smaller, but I do think that both the result and the qualification will work out in the same manner»

What is certain is that English teams are a hard nut to crack «because– confirms the JUventus captain – they are teams which in the last few years have obtained excellent results and are well equipped to make it to the final stages». However, even Chelsea will find a very determined opponent. «With our performances in the Italian championship set aside, the Champions League is a different competition which we really want to do well in».
